#solstice 2019

Wanted to share these from the Solstice event last year

[tattooed-alchemist]

I did the Winter Witch Tarot Spread as part of my solstice vigil.

1. Gratitude - The Star (17) - We are all stars.

2. Rest & Health - The Lovers (6) - This card is about transcending binaries. 

3. Peace - 5 of Cups (Disappointment) - I think this has to do with the reality that my elderly parents both have memory changes from age, and neither can remember to use my preferred name and pronouns. It’s not about explaining it to them, it’s about memory retention. It just can’t be remembered, not for even five minutes.

4. Rebirth - 2 of Swords (Peace) - Sometimes this peace is a show-down, sometimes it’s a change of tactics, sometimes it’s a change of mind. 

5. Gifts - Ace of Wands - This is the root of Earth powers. Whatever gift I get, it should be Hela good.

6. Forgiveness - King of Swords - this King is the observer from afar, I may have to delve deeper to be able to discern if this is me or someone else.

7. Friends & Family - Ace of Pentacles - This is root of Fire powers, who I often think of as Eleanor Rigby who keeps her face in a jar by the door, but doesn’t know who it’s for.  I’ll def have to delve deeper to figure out who this is I should catch up with,

8. Celebration - Chevalier of Pentacles - I often think of this as the shopping card, and if so, that’s the divine masculine tarot that I backed this winter which arrives in March.

9. Comfort & Joy - 3 of Wands (Work) - this can translate to being active or staying on projects.  I’ve gotten more done around the house in the last several weeks and it’s been huge for my headspace.

10. Full Moon Magic - The Magician (1) - this card pretty much symbolizes an older version of me, and I’ve actually just started a new practice intended to build up new me.  How ‘bout that?

11. New Moon Magic - 9 of Swords (Cruelty) - I don’t know if this means something is going to happen next week, when the New Moon falls on Christmas Day, or if it means my transfeminine friend is going to try and backstab me, because if it’s that second one, I go Highlander when someone backstabs me.  I don’t want to delve deeper on this.

12. Winter Magic - The Empress - Canon for this card is Venus, mistress of the world’s hearts, and I just got done building a door charm of the alchemical symbol for Venus.  Intriguing.

At the Turning of the Year

This song was written for the Herdman-Hills-Mangsen by Anne Hills for our third recording of the same name. Scott Petito recorded and produced our music at N...

This remains the most beautiful song I have ever heard.

Solstice

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to more sunshine. On winter's solstice I always find myself anticipating bright summer days. I thank the darkness that has forced me inwards, and I turn my focus like a sunflower to the growing light.

Just like the daylight hours, we are always in transition. Something is always growing; something is always leaving. I send love to that which is leaving my life life right now. Many beautiful things are coming. Happy Yule. -J
